transistor Tues……cheap solder and heat from tubes create yucky solder joints that can render an excellent pro level rig like this Peg useless……:rollno:

Nice! I'm going to assume it's been re-finished correct? (or not) Either way it looks pretty much the same as how I had Chucky's II finished by Pat Wilkins, some variant of Olympic white.

No, it's a series 1 BaCHbird. Those were all white.

Have you ever worked on an EHX pedal? I'm curious why the red LED in their Nano series is so mellow. Not sure if it's the LED or just an unusually strong resistor in front of it. Most LEDs in pedals I find too bright, but EHX's is kinda perfect.

:drool::drool::drool: it's gorgeous!
sure you want to sell that? seems like everyone who sells their BaCHs end up regretting it…
you can tell that started out as a II as it seems BaCH never observed Gibson knob spacing……

Yeah I know. I sold a white II, much like yours, I bought from Carlo with a case that I often regret selling. But something has to go. Other than the new TB-900 I only have three others besides this BaCH and I can't part with any of them. It's ok. I only bought it in mid March and the several days I've spent playing the new TB-900 made me sure I could part with it.
